About the Directors

Dennis Wallisch

Dennis has been involved in music ministry for almost 30 years.  He has been involved in planning and leading traditional and contemporary worship services...and everything in between.  Dennis finds the value of multiple forms and styles of worship because people are different, have different interests and connect differently to God.  It is our responsibility to provide that opportunity for connection regardless of the form worship takes.  Dennis enjoys spending time ice fishing or playing disc golf with his son, Grayson.  He is blessed to lead both Servant song and Holy Commotion at Immanuel.  

DEGREES:  Bachelor's of Science in Vocal Music Education from North Dakota State University
